I often cut + undo because seeing the cut is feedback which tells me the operation successfully put the content into clipboard. This is not always a guarantee especially in web apps, and sometimes I just have focus on the wrong window.
Have you used a clipboard manager? There are tons that you can configure with notifications and indicators, so you don't have to that.
Having to install yet more software seems worse than the problem you’re suggesting it should solve.
At least it would save you a keystroke every time, if it enables you to switch from cut+undo to copy.
Even windows has this software out of the box because it is so obviously useful
How can you be sure that the undo stack is in sync with the clipboard? Wouldn't cut+paste be a more reliable pseudo-copy than cut+undo?
